If AutoSupport is enabled on this cluster, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=xhx is the duration of the maintenance window in hours.
The message notifies technical support of this maintenance task so that automatic case creation is suppressed during the maintenance window. -

Verify that the appropriate RCF and image are installed on the new 3132Q-V switches as necessary for your requirements, and make the essential site customizations, such as users and passwords, network addresses, and so on.
You must prepare both switches at this time. If you need to upgrade the RCF and image, follow these steps:
-
Go to the Cisco Ethernet Switches page on the NetApp Support Site.
-
Note your switch and the required software versions in the table on that page.
-
Download the appropriate version of the RCF.
-
Select CONTINUE on the Description page, accept the license agreement, and then follow the instructions on the Download page to download the RCF.
-
Download the appropriate version of the image software.
See the ONTAP 8.x or later Cluster and Management Network Switch Reference Configuration FilesDownload page, and then select the appropriate version.
To find the correct version, see the ONTAP 8.x or later Cluster Network Switch Download page.

Migrate the LIFs associated with the second Nexus 5596 switch to be replaced:
network interface migrateShow example
The following example shows n1 and n2, but LIF migration must be done on all of the nodes:
cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus2 -source-node n1 – destination-node n1 -destination-port e0a cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus3 -source-node n1 – destination-node n1 -destination-port e0d cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus2 -source-node n2 – destination-node n2 -destination-port e0a cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus3 -source-node n2 – destination-node n2 -destination-port e0d

The following example shows the result of the previous
network interface migratecommand:cluster::*> network interface show -role cluster (network interface show) Logical Status Network Current Current Is Vserver Interface Admin/Oper Address/Mask Node Port Home ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------ ------------- ------- ---- Cluster n1_clus1 up/up 10.10.0.1/24 n1 e0a true n1_clus2 up/up 10.10.0.2/24 n1 e0a false n1_clus3 up/up 10.10.0.3/24 n1 e0d false n1_clus4 up/up 10.10.0.4/24 n1 e0d true n2_clus1 up/up 10.10.0.5/24 n2 e0a true n2_clus2 up/up 10.10.0.6/24 n2 e0a false n2_clus3 up/up 10.10.0.7/24 n2 e0d false n2_clus4 up/up 10.10.0.8/24 n2 e0d true 8 entries were displayed. -
Shut down the cluster interconnect ports that are physically connected to switch CL2:
network port modifyShow example
The following commands shut down the specified ports on n1 and n2, but the ports must be shut down on all nodes:
cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0b -up-admin false cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0c -up-admin false cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0b -up-admin false cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0c -up-admin false
-
Verify the connectivity of the remote cluster interfaces:
You can use the network interface check cluster-connectivity command to start an accessibility check for cluster connectivity and then display the details:
network interface check cluster-connectivity start and network interface check cluster-connectivity show
cluster1::*> network interface check cluster-connectivity start
NOTE: Wait for a number of seconds before running the show command to display the details.
cluster1::*> network interface check cluster-connectivity show

For all ONTAP releases, you can also use the cluster ping-cluster -node <name> command to check the connectivity:
cluster ping-cluster -node <name>
cluster::*> cluster ping-cluster -node n1

Shut down the ISL ports 41 through 48 on the active Nexus 5596 switch CL1:
Show example
The following example shows how to shut down ISL ports 41 through 48 on the Nexus 5596 switch CL1:
(CL1)# configure (CL1)(Config)# interface e1/41-48 (CL1)(config-if-range)# shutdown (CL1)(config-if-range)# exit (CL1)(Config)# exit (CL1)#
If you are replacing a Nexus 5010 or 5020, specify the appropriate port numbers for ISL.
